No money for storm relief but plenty to build concentration camps... What a perfect reflection of where this country has been heading for most of my life

the powers that be are bending every sail to get their man Cuomo into office. "All hands on deck" - this doesn't count the millions in free positive media and attacks on Mamdani that Cuomo gets from his allies in the press.

The absolute full-court press from media + elites on behalf of Cuomo demonstrates yet again that when they want to make something a story -- not just "cover it," but pound on it until it sinks in as a public narrative -- they know exactly how.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

"I told you so isn't helpful!" I'm not trying to be helpful. I was being helpful when i told you. I was being helpful when i showed you the videos, shared the reading materials, and the studies. Now im being an asshole because you didn't want helpful.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Don’s right. Trumpism not just permits, but demands, overt hostility to a wide array of American values, institutions, culture, and people. Trumpism hates much more of America than it loves.

So many people will say on record that they like candidates like Trump and Cuomo BECAUSE they’re bullies. And this belief stems from people seeing over the course of their lives that bullies get what they want and don’t get held accountable, so having a bully as a leader must be desirable

Very cool that several people who used to yell at me in DMs for being too mean to Facebook are now running some sort of extralegal posse informally deputized by the actual United States Army.

on a purely theoretical level, the failure of the Club World Cup is fascinating you have famous teams, committed to winning because of the prize pool, in new and unusual matchups, a set of brand new underdogs, playing in cities where high-level football is rare and no one cares

Old School US Military: Boring dads (and increasingly moms) who can get a shipping container full of explosives, MREs, & spare parts anywhere in the world in 72 hours with no drama. Cult of the Operator: Midlife crisis dads (and occasionally moms) who will starve to death w/o the old school types.

The weather this year has been downright awful.... It's mid-june and we've barely been cracking 75F/24C with any regularity... It's not even 60 today 😬

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing
